Sold at the upper estimate price
In December 2016 Christies in Mumbai held the auction The India Sale - South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art, which included the work Sasser by Nicholas Roerich. The auction ended at the price of INR 5,000,000.00 (€ 69,655.04), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of INR 3,500,000.00 – 5,000,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Nicholas Roerich achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Himself Came in November 2007 with an auction result of GBP 1,756,500.00 (€ 2,459,554.43).
Zuschlag beim oberen Schätzpreis
Im Dezember 2016 führte Christies in Mumbai die Auktion The India Sale - South Asian Modern + Contemporary Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Sasser von Nicholas Roerich zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von INR 5.000.000,00 (€ 69.655,04) entsprach exakt dem oberen Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von INR 3.500.000,00 – 5.000.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Nicholas Roerich erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Himself Came im November 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 1.756.500,00 (€ 2.459.554,43).
